Horse Race is one of the oldest traditional sports that is known to mankind and it has been popular across the world since ancient times. Unlike other gambling activities, such as playing cards, horse racing allows the betters to invest very less and gain maximum betting profits, should their horse come in. One of the most well-known horse racing events is the “Melbourne Cup” which is held in Australia and takes place in the month of November every year. People from around the world participate in this horse racing event whether it be through watching it or placing bets online.

How to back a winner?

If we truly knew the answer to this question, we would be millionaires! Whilst there is no sure-fire way of guaranteeing a win, there are things you can do to improve your chances! Doing your research is the number 1 strategic action you can take, prior to putting your money where your mouth is. Secondly it is not always wise to back the horse with the highest odds of winning as this doesn’t always guarantee success. Horses can go through periods of success that fluctuates from race to race, you should take the time to analyse a horse’s past performance and consider placing a wager on one who has steadily improved over the last few events- this could signal a filly that is due a win.

But of course, betting is not just about winning- by all means put some money on a horse because you like the name, or just have a feeling about it- you don’t always have to put thought into it! Gambling is supposed to be fun and if you are prepared to take the rough with the smooth.
